July - The Second of July (1967)

This is a collection of previously unreleased material from the British psychedelic band July, largely consisting of demos of the songs from their self-titled album. There are a few tracks on this that didn't make it to the album though. As I mentioned earlier, it's interesting to listen to these songs and hear how much many of them were developed prior to recording the album. Although it lacks the production of the self-titled album, the lo-fi recording lends itself well to many of the tracks, particularly the acoustic ballad "Man Outside."

Thanks a million for this one!I had only heard a couple of tracks from it before, I should have bought it when it first came out...I have been a JULY fan since Bam Caruso reissued their album (retitled "Dandelion Seeds") about 20 years ago now.great stuff...STRANGELY STRANGE BUT ODDLY...FAMILIAR!

Really only a deep thinker like you could come out with such wonderful ideas. Great analysis and in-depth thinking. The accuracy and detailed explanation is something which differentiates your piece of work from others.

Thank You a ton for writing such a wonderful piece of information. Keep sharing such ideas in the future as well. This was actually what I was looking for, and I am glad to came here! Thanks for sharing the such information with us.
